He walked where I walk.
He stood where I stand.
He felt what I feel.
He understands.
He knows my frailty.
Shared my humanity.
Tempted in every way.
Yet without sin.

        God with us so close to us
        God with us, Emmanuel.
        Emmanuel.

One of a hated race.
Stung by prejudice.
Suff'ring injustice.
Yet He forgives.
Wept for my wasted years.
Paid for my wickedness.
He died in my place.
That I might live.

Emmanuel.
